OTC (Over-The-Counter) Trading
OTC trading is a direct, privately negotiated trade between two parties, off the public order book.
In depth
Large orders placed on an open exchange can move the price against the buyer. An OTC desk quotes a single all-in price for the full size and settles it directly, avoiding slippage and signalling. It is how institutions, funds and high-net-worth clients typically transact.
Why it matters
StableX’s OTC desk exists precisely for this — large, discreet fills at a firm price.
